Geneva
Emma B
Geneva is a great city in the heart of French-speaking Switzerland, and right next to France. Don't believe what they say when they tell you it's boring, there are plenty of things to do and see and it's the outdoor lover's paradise.
I lived there for 8 years and know the city like the back of my hand. I've put together my top tips for you to get to know and enjoy the city like a local. I've also included day-trips you can do from Geneva.

What to know about Geneva
Geneva is a charming medium sized city, right by the Alps. It's usually the point of call for people who are going off skiing or exploring mountains nearby, but it's well worth a visit of its own.
It's perfect for people who love nature and the outdoors, there are tons of outdoor focused activities, notwithstanding its proximity to nature.
Beware that as in Switzerland overall, prices are expensive. It's comparable to European capitals but in some cases you might be shocked by high(er) prices, this is normal. Be prepared for it and come with a slightly higher budget than usual.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Emma B
I'm Emma, an avid traveller and I've been fortunate enough to travel my whole life. I frequently travel as a solo female traveller. I have been all over Europe, and places further afield like Cuba, Japan and Thailand to name a few. I also lived for 8 years in Geneva, 6 years in Amsterdam, and have been going to London since I was a child.
When I travel I love to discover the best of local destinations, whether that's cafes, bars or restaurants, but also outdoor spots, hikes, beaches, or other unique locations. My goal is to travel on an affordable budget that doesn't break the bank, but without being on a shoestring either.
On Thatch I want to share my knowledge, years of experience and research with you, to enable you to make the most of your travels and help you fall in love with the places I've been.
